Chapter 159: Embarrassment

This family used to have almost no coarse grains at home, and they couldn't open the pot anymore, and the family ate wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

The last time the three of them came to their house for a night, this was the first time they had a guest come to their door when they moved here.

In the past few years, their family has been living alone in the middle of the mountainside, and their daughter who married out was able to come back once or twice occasionally.

They used the only sorghum flour in the house and the sorghum vegetable cakes made from the wild vegetables they picked to entertain their guests.

The three guests did not dislike the simple food they made that day, and when they left, they insisted on giving them half a tael of silver, which was regarded as the accommodation fee for the three of them.

Only then did the family have the money to go to the town and buy some food and come back.

Zhang Xiaoxue waited for the little boy and the woman to leave, and then took out some ingredients from the ring and prepared to take them to the kitchen to eat.

Thinking of what the little boy said just now, the best thing he had ever eaten was boiled pork, and it should be very difficult to come to this house.

She was going to take out some of the crops from the farm and give them to the little boy to eat, and she didn't know if he would feel grateful to her if he ate them, but she wanted to do an experiment to see if she could get a love value.

When Zhang Xiaoxue took the ingredients to the family's kitchen, the woman was already burning the fire, and when she saw Zhang Xiaoxue coming, the woman smiled and introduced to her that corn porridge was boiling in the pot.

The woman saw that Zhang Xiaoxue was holding a few vegetables in her hand, not to mention, and a large piece of pork, she really didn't expect that this time the guests would come and bring their own ingredients.

The woman looked embarrassed at the thought of the meal she had planned to prepare.

"Let the girl smile, there is nothing good at home, I am going to cook corn hawthorn porridge, and I plan to use cornmeal and wild vegetables to make vegetable cakes to eat.

The vegetables at home are home-grown lettuce and green onions in the backyard, and I originally planned to eat them with soy sauce, but I didn't expect the girl to bring so many delicious ingredients, so I can make a few more dishes. ”

"Oh, the meals prepared by the aunt are also very good, these are the ones we bought on the road, just use them to cook, then the aunt just cook the meals you just said, these ingredients in my hand, let me make them myself." ”

Zhang Xiaoxue replied with a smile.

Hearing the meal that her aunt was going to prepare, she remembered the situation at home when she first came, the dry and hard bran cake, which tasted very good, although Zhang Xiaoxue didn't eat a few bites, she remembered it very deeply.

She felt that this aunt should have taken out the best things in the house and made them.

Zhang Xiaoxue brought so many ingredients that looked very good to this woman, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make them well and spoil the good things.

Since the fat boy said that this girl's craftsmanship was better than that of the imperial cook, it was best to hear this girl say that she would use these ingredients to cook by herself, and the woman naturally did not disagree.

In fact, there are really not many ingredients in Zhang Xiaoxue's hand, just a bag of potatoes and a piece of lotus root, a few eggplants, and a piece of pork.

There was no oil at this woman's house, not only vegetable oil, but also meat oil, and Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't take out the oil bought in the ring in front of this woman, but fortunately, the pork that Zhang Xiaoxue brought was a piece of pork belly.

Zhang Xiaoxue picked out some of the fat parts of this piece of pork belly, first refined the fat meat into oil, and served it in a clay bowl for stir-frying later.

Zhang Xiaoxue made a shredded potato, as well as a plate of braised pork, stir-fried lotus root, and the eggplant was a sauce eggplant made with the sauce made by the woman, a simple four-plate dish, which was quickly prepared by Zhang Xiaoxue.

The woman who was making sorghum cakes next to her, seeing Zhang Xiaoxue's sharp cooking, couldn't help but praise Zhang Xiaoxue's ability, the more she looked at it, the more she liked this little girl, the woman was a little envious of this girl's parents, they really raised a good daughter.

Since it was two people cooking, dinner was made very quickly.

When Zhang Xiaoxue and the others were cooking, they heard that the male owner of the house had returned, so since everyone had arrived, they began to serve the food and prepare to eat.

When the two of them brought the prepared meal to the table in the hall and put it away, the little boy saw such a sumptuous meal and smelled the fragrance of the food, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow!

"Haha, see it, this plate is braised pork, but your sister Xiaoxue's specialty dish tastes much better than the boiled pork you said. ”

The fat man pointed to this plate of braised pork and said to the little boy with a smile.

"Hehe, Sister Xiaoxue is so amazing, I smell the aroma of this plate of braised pork is particularly tempting, and my saliva can't help but flow out. ”

The little boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"These dishes are all made by this girl named Xiaoxue, and the ingredients are also brought by several guests, our family can follow the guests to get clean, and we can't eat such a good meal during the New Year." ”

The woman was surprised to see the food on the table and explained.

After a few polite conversations, they sat down and started to eat dinner, of course, they were full of praise for Zhang Xiaoxue's craftsmanship.

The little boy said happily that braised pork is indeed much more delicious than boiled pork, and he can't say how much it tastes better.

As the saying goes, the wine table is the easiest way to enhance people's feelings, although their meals do not have alcohol, but the atmosphere is also good, so they chatted while eating, and slowly became familiar.

Zhang Xiaoxue was idle, and suddenly remembered that this family lived alone on this halfway mountainside for some reason, and it was inconvenient to do anything.

"Auntie, why do you live here alone, far away from the village? Isn't it very inconvenient to do this?"

When the family heard Zhang Xiaoxue's question, their faces were a little bad, and it seemed that there was something difficult to say.

This Zhang Xiaoxue naturally saw it, and Zhang Xiaoxue regretted her words a little, she really had nothing to do, and she made people unhappy.

"Well, since this girl asked, although we are embarrassed, but some things are wrong, and we can't hide it if we want to, so I will tell you about it, but I hope that the guests will not dislike us after listening to it." ”

The male owner of the house listened to Zhang Xiaoxue's question, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"Well, this uncle, if it's inconvenient to say, forget it, I'm not trying to get into your privacy. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue doesn't want to be embarrassed by others, since this is something that people don't want to mention, she shouldn't be embarrassed.

"I'm not afraid of a few guests laughing at us, the reason why we live alone on this mountainside is because we were kicked out by the villagers. ”

After saying this, the man sighed deeply, as if caught in a memory, and spoke again after a while.
